Question for the board. I have a lot of shares of a company on the TSE that have been going down in price.They are trading around 2.00 right now.I am just afraid that there is going to be a surprise in the quarterly report,which will be out in about 2 weeks. Is there any way that I can protect myself at this price,without selling the shares? TIA.

One more thing, I would never work with a financial advisor, such as Mauldin is, who gives these black and white forecasts. That is the problem with most investors and advisors, they don't assign probabilities Actually, in his book "Bullseye Investing", Mauldin doesn't give a black and white forecast. He is saying that at present level of valuations a return to the secular bull is improbable. Also, he readily agrees that 50% rallies within the secular bear are likely. He isn't calling for a crash, but a period of flat stock prices, basing himself on the behavior of past bear markets. A good book, btw, but maddeningly prolix and repetitive. Could have been written in half the number of pages.
